Description: Stanice Anderson describes her nearly fatal addiction to heroin and her seemingly miraculous 17-year recovery. The recovery included a born-again religious experience, a commitment to a 12-Step recovery program, and the gradual mending of relationships with her parents and her son. Her recovery required her to face a past that included a rape and a suicide attempt.
